ROCHESTER — The woman accused of setting fire to a Pickering Road home in June was recently indicted on a felony arson charge, as well as two additional charges for allegedly assaulting a correctional officer twice while in jail.

Renee Shaw, 52, an inmate at Strafford County jail, is facing two felony counts of assault by a prisoner, for allegedly hitting a correctional officer with a pillow and throwing a cup of water at his face while being in custody on Sept. 12.

Shaw, who is being held on $10,000 cash bail, was arrested in June in connection to a fire that destroyed much of the home at 193 Pickering Road on June 26.

According to a police affidavit, Shaw told officers she started the fire by breaking a window at the back of the home, climbing through the window, taking unknown papers from the kitchen, and lighting them on fire using a lighter.

The blaze occurred when the owner of the home was out of state. Shaw had previously had a relationship with the homeowner, and he allowed her to stay at his home for several days while he was away. Shaw had been staying both inside the home and outside, in a tent, but after some time she was asked to leave because she was “harassing people,” she told police, according to the affidavit.

A man who is familiar with the homeowner told police Shaw was making harassing phone calls from the Pickering Road house while staying there.

Since her arraignment in Rochester Circuit Court in June, Shaw was held on $10,000 cash only bail at Strafford County jail. After her indictment, her bail was converted to provide a possibility of $10,000 personal recognizance bail with approval from Strafford County Community Corrections Program.

According to court documents, Shaw’s bail was amended to allow her to transport to the N.H. State Hospital. She is currently waiting for a bed at the hospital, and Strafford County Community Corrections Program does not recommend her release from jail before she undergoes mental health treatment.

Arson is a Class A felony, which comes with a maximum sentence of 7½ to 15 years in prison.

Each assault by a prisoner charge is a Class B felony, punishable by a maximum of 3½ to 7 years in prison.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it means a grand jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
